Anyone here have a 'wrapping room' in their house?

I never knew there was such a thing!

It actually makes me feel sick. People wasting so much money and buying so much stuff when the world is dying and children don't have clean water.

No but I’d love one! I’d also love to be a professional gift wrapper…not sure it’s a thing.

Do you think if people stopped wrapping gifts the world would be a better place?

years ago I read about a celebrity having a wrapping room and I’ve dreamt about it ever since. I’d LOVE one … not gonna happen.

I do! It doubles as a spare room but wrapping paper and scissors stay put on a coffee table. It even has a sea view.

No because I'm not Candy Spelling. Tamara Ecclestone bought her house, I wonder if she kept the wrapping room?

No. I'm shit at wrapping anyway so usually just do a half arsed job of it on my living room floor.

Niles in Frasier had a gift wrapping room 😊

If I had a wrapping room it would be for my returns!

That was my first thought. Niles Crane in the 1990s.

I do have a room which has become the 'everything room' - library, study, ironing, formal dining, exercise, spare bedroom at a pinch.

The wrapping things are stored in there so between now and Christmas I'll be referring to it as the Wrapping Room just to sound like a posh wanker

What do you all do with those bits where you cut a strip off the roll but need it to be shorter for the particular gift so then you cut a bit off the top of the strip? Do you tuck it back in the roll and gradually tuck more and more stray bits inside the roll and never use them, or do you wait and do a series of Frankenwraps with them? Or do you just throw them away straight off?

I don't always cut a full width strip off the roll - just cut the shape and size that I need for that gift.

I used to do that but then found the flappy bit was the wrong size for what I wanted to wrap next.

I have problems with wrapping, clearly. I need a room.

Ain't that just a posh word for a bedroom, wrapping yourself in the duvet?

Is it like a sex thing?

I'm 57 so I'm a bit out of touch with what young people get up to these days. All these people going on about their gender fluids, sound really messy.

I recently read a book "For better For Worse", (very good) and main character had her own wrapping room. I had never heard of it before.

Does a desk and office chair under the stairs count?

Now I've seen what one looks like, I want one 😂

I've always dreamt of having a study with all my crafts in it

Brilliant.

We don't have a wrapping room but we possibly have what a PP described as a gifting closet.

However it's disguised as a PAX wardrobe with one shelf dedicated to all the rolls of wrapping paper I couldn't resist buying when they were reduced after Christmas, a few old jiffy bags and mailing sacks saved from online deliveries to be used for Vinted sales.

The above is in the room that also serves as my home office and an occasional kitten nursery and playroom (we foster for a rescue charity).

I don't but DH does

It's called the loft and he uses it on Cmas eve

No I don't. There really wouldn't be much point for the four or five gifts I wrap in a year.

Mind you, I probably could do with one for all the online shopping returns!

I have the exact same gifting closet of contents in my home office, in the room for kitten fostering 😀

Yes, it's in the west wing and the servants open it to air it every December.

I see your bag and raise you a drawer 😁
